people really like ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

With just 4 days until it’s release, Warner Brothers is finally giving critics who have seen ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ permission to publish their reviews, and according to the few that are online now, it seems Christopher Nolan is still really really good at making movies. Empire gives it 5 stars, saying:

?”With spectacle in abundance, this is superhero filmmaking on an unprecedented scale.”

“Big-time Hollywood filmmaking at its most massively accomplished, this last installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy makes everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish.”

“…one of the year’s most impressive efforts so far in any genre, on any subject … Whoever Warner Bros hires to reboot the “Batman” films a few years from now, I wish you luck. The bar is as high as it could possibly be.”
